Players who employ elite units, villains, troops, and droid units will often find an advantage with this deck. Many cards make the Imperial units harder to kill, harder hitting, or more mobile. even lowly stormtroopers find significant boost

Imperial players should note that most of the class cards require the Trooper or Droid keywords. This means that many Mercenary figures included in the Core Set will not benefit much from this deck though a few cards are not as specific.

Probe droids gain a particular benefit from this deck as several cards directly give them new abilities and turn them into useful support units in addition to their already high surge effect potentials. The ability to heal, clear status effects, or focus friendly figures can be very useful.
